Year 6 support A21
On Friday 6th March during lunchtime, Year 6 students took part in a sponsored run in the Sports Hall to raise money for the charity A21, which works to combat human trafficking and support vulnerable people around the world.
Students challenged themselves to run as many laps as possible within the time, showing impressive determination and resilience. The Sports Hall was full of energy as students encouraged one another and pushed themselves to keep going.
The event was not only about fundraising. As part of our Migration unit, it also encouraged students to reflect on the journeys many migrants face. By giving up their lunchtime play and persevering through the challenge, students experienced a small glimpse of the effort, determination and hardship that can be part of long journeys in search of safety and opportunity.
During Term 1, our Year 6 students took part in a meaningful and heartwarming project to support the A21 Campaign charity.
Each student thoughtfully prepared a Christmas backpack filled with essential items and small gifts for children supported by A21 across the Greater Bangkok area. From toiletries to toys, every item was carefully chosen with kindness and generosity in mind.
In addition to the backpacks, we were incredibly grateful to receive a very generous donation of clothing from our school community. These items were also distributed to families in need, helping to make a real difference during the festive season.
In the spirit of giving, our Year 6 students led a heartwarming Christmas initiative to support children affected by human trafficking through the charity A21. As part of the project, students brought in backpacks filled with carefully chosen gifts—ranging from toys and school supplies to warm clothing and hygiene items—all intended to bring comfort and joy to children in need.
Each backpack was packed with thoughtfulness, with students considering what might bring happiness to a child who may be facing difficult circumstances. Some even included handwritten cards or drawings to add a personal touch and a message of hope.
In March, our incredible Year 6 students took to the school field in a spirited sponsored run to raise funds and awareness for A21, a global organisation working to end human trafficking. The event was the culmination of discussions in class about fairness, justice, and making a positive difference in the world—and our students were eager to turn their learning into action.
With trainers on and determination in their hearts, each student challenged themselves to complete as many laps of the field as they could. Cheered on by their peers and teachers, the runners kept their energy high and their commitment strong, showing real perseverance and teamwork throughout the event. Some teachers even joined the efforts!
A21 is a global anti-slavery organisation committed to ending human trafficking and providing rescue, care, and restoration to survivors. Their work focuses on prevention, rescue, and aftercare, aiming to create a world free from slavery.
Last year, Year 6 generously supported A21's efforts by raising funds for their education programs and providing essential supplies to those in need. The school also donated laptops to aid in the educational development of trafficked children.
A21's prevention programs involve visiting schools and communities to educate children and raise awareness about the dangers of human trafficking. Their teams engage with young people through interactive activities, storytelling, and discussions, equipping them with knowledge and tools to protect themselves and others. Additionally, the teams provide essential items like snacks and milk to support the well-being of the communities they serve.
